Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum.
I have recently purchased an 1884 trapdoor and I'm trying to be gentle with it. I read, “just filler up with powder, compress the load and let her fly", but, I want to know, which black powder, 2fg or 3fg?? Pyrodex or black powder??, and what psi am I generating... what bhn is best for a trapdoor cast?? I'm sure that the originals used pure lead. Is that what I should use. Is there information somewhere on black powder psi, like there is for smokeless?? I'm anxious to get started but I need a little help. I've tried to look, but I just can't find .....
Thanks everyone, Maq
